EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting Round-leaved Everlasting Pea, Lathyrus rotundifolius var. ellipticus. The intricate detail captured in this botanical illustration, created by J.T. Hart under the direction of John Lindley and Robert Sweet for their renowned publication, "Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery," published by G. Willis in London in 1854, is truly a testament to the artists' mastery of their craft. The Round-leaved Everlasting Pea, a member of the Fabaceae or pea family, is a charming and hardy perennial native to the Mediterranean and Western Asia. Its elegant, elliptic-shaped leaves, as depicted in this illustration, are a striking contrast to the typical pinnate leaves found in most pea species. The plant produces beautiful, fragrant, and long-lasting pea flowers in various shades of pink, purple, and white, which bloom from mid-summer through autumn. The botanical illustration's hand-coloring adds an extra layer of beauty and vibrancy to the already captivating Round-leaved Everlasting Pea. The meticulous application of color brings out the intricacies of the flower's structure, from the delicate veining on its petals to the fine details of its stamens and pistils. This engraving is not only a valuable resource for botanical research but also a stunning work of art that continues to inspire admiration and appreciation for the natural world.
